This chili is inspired by Mia's transient lifestyle and her ability to blend different influences into something comforting and nourishing, much like her influence on the Richardson children.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until onion is translucent.
Add ground beef, cook until browned.
Stir in kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and let cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot with optional toppings like cheese or sour cream.
